Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.

If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options,
click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled
under the security section.

For offline users

You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds

Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you
want to view.

Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page
you want to view.

Hi mrchev,

If you are connected to the net and can get mail ect, I think you will find
this is an IE problem, either download and re-install IE or better still
download Firefox, and I'm pretty confident your problem will go away. I've
had this many times over the years, and it's always IE. I've never had this
problem with Firefox. I run both, mainly keep Firefox for browsing, and us
IE when I need to download something from MS.

Ok then, lets brake this down. What can you do?

Can you get email via mail software?
What websites are you able to vist. If it is sites that require SSL, in
internet options have you checked that they are ticked?
Go to a site that you know requires no secure connection, does it happen
there? Clean out your cache etc and restart IE.
Does your signal drop, are pages slow to load and then when they do you get
the 404 page?
Is your ISP having any problems of late? Check their status page.

Also have you installed any broswer helps recently?

If so disable then and try again.

Sorry for the multi post, just thinking of new things to try. Another
problem could be that you have a trojan, or some other nasty. Have you
scanned your system? Virus scan and then down load spybot (www.spybot.com)
and adaware (www.adaware.com) and then scan with these. Don't worry if you
MS Defender on your pc, it's quiet safe to have more than one, it's not like
AV's. It's always better to have a couple, and to be honest MS Defender
doesn't do as well in lab tests.
